At only 30 years old, Steven Siler has already been fighting for almost 13 years. An achievement that is going to be seen less and less as the sport matures. When he steps into the cage on Thursday night, it will be his 46th professional fight. After the Ultimate Fighter and a long stint in […]

Steven Siler decided it would be a good idea to start training.
After all, he was 12 fights deep into his professional MMA career, accumulating a 5-7 record over that stretch. He’d horse around with his friend—former UFC welterweight Jorge Lopez—and pick up some techniques, but as far as a formal training regimen goes, Siler had none.
He was just a scrappy kid who wanted to be on local TV and earn a few bucks, so once he turned 18, he granted his own wish.
“He (Lopez) started training a little bit, so we got to meet some of his fighter friends,” Siler told Bleacher Report. “One of those days, I saw his fighter friend on local TV, we had a TV show called Ultimate Combat Experience. They put on weekly shows and the second I turned 18, I thought, ‘Man, if I can take a beating from Jorge, I’d be able to handle these small guys any time.’
“I had no background, no nothing, just kind of went in and wanted to be on local TV and get paid anywhere from $50 to 100. It felt so badass to do. I fought 12 fights without even stepping foot into a gym. After the 12th fight, he was like, ‘Yeah, man, you definitely have the heart to do this, but how about you take up training? You could take it seriously!'”
It’s funny how training can impact a fighter’s career. After enrolling in a formal program at a local jiu-jitsu gym, Siler started winning—a lot.
He rattled off 10 straight victories—not nine, as Sherdog and Wikipedia will have you believe. “They didn’t record them all,” he said. As a result, the feisty kid from Utah suddenly had some legitimate techniques to match his heart and determination.
This run of success, while great on paper, made it difficult for Siler to find a fight, and it wasn’t until he took a vacation to California that the next step on his journey materialized.
Some former Division I wrestler named Chad Mendes needed a fight, and nobody would take it.
Siler would.
“I was really big-headed, thinking how badass I was,” Siler said. “I was actually on vacation in California and my coach called me, like, ‘Hey, we have some Division I wrestler guy. They’re offering you this much money.’ I wasn’t able to get a fight for the life of me, so I said, ‘All right. I’ll take a fight against anyone.’
“So I took the fight on two weeks’ notice not knowing who this kid was, just coming in confident, thinking, ‘I’m going to smash this kid, beat him up. He’s just going to try to lay on me. It’s going to be nothing.’ Then he ended up coming out with hands instead and completely threw me off.”
From cracking a beer on the beach to getting cracked in the skull by Mendes—that was Siler’s California vacation. The knockout loss halted his winning streak, but he’d come right back and amass a 4-1 record before landing on Season 14 of The Ultimate Fighter.
Siler lost to eventual winner Diego Brando via knockout, but he said the opportunity and the experience he gained were well worth the time invested. After defeating Josh Clopton at the show’s finale, he had a legitimate UFC career. He’d been training for roughly four years at this point, and he inked a deal with the UFC.
This fairy tale felt surreal even to Siler, and he mentioned that fighting guys such as Cole Miller and Mike Thomas Brown—fighters he grew up watching—caught him off guard and really opened his eyes to what he was accomplishing.
“It was only my second UFC fight (against Miller), so at that moment, I was in the cage, and I remember right in the first round we went through a couple exchanges, and I actually stopped in the middle of the fight and I literally thought, ‘Wow. I’m in the cage with Cole Miller. He’s been in the UFC for so many fights,'” Siler said. “(Against) Mike Brown, I didn’t really get the chance to have that kind of moment because it went by so quickly, but…I love telling everyone, ‘Hey, I fought the former champion and I knocked him out.'”
Now, however, Siler finds himself cornered. He’s lost two straight and is set to face American Kickboxing Academy’s Noad Lahat at UFC on Fox 12 on Saturday.
“It’s a fight, so there’s always a threat,” Siler said. “He could always land a big punch, or his ground game, from what I’ve read, he’s pretty good on the ground…I’m not going to worry about his plan, I’m just going to stick to mine.”
It’s worth noting, however, that Siler doesn’t necessarily view this as a “do or die” moment in his career. His last loss—a TKO to Rony Jason at UFC Fight Night: Shogun vs. Henderson 2—was hardly definitive. Jason caught Siler with two hard punches, sending his foe to the canvas, and the referee quickly intervened.
Too quickly, in fact.
Siler threw an upkick and was in the process of landing a second as the referee made his move and halted the bout. The referee made a tough, split-second decision in the heat of battle, so Siler doesn’t hold a grudge.
But it was still the wrong call.
“I’ve seen a lot of people say it’s probably one of the worst ones (stoppages) in UFC history,” Siler said. “I was landing the upkick, so it was frustrating, but it’s the ref’s call…It’s my fault for getting hit, but it was definitely a bad stoppage.”
Controversy behind him, Siler moves into his bout refreshed and rejuvenated. He strolls into the fight as a first-time father, and he said this new layer to his life has helped him relax and reflect upon what’s most important. He’s about to engage in a fistfight with a grown, trained man, but Siler feels good, and negativity has no place in his current mentality.
“This is going to be my first UFC fight with him (Siler’s child),” Siler said. “I’ve been really excited, carrying him around all week, showing him off. All the UFC reps get to see him and hold him and play with him. It’s been a good experience, something that, when he gets older, I think he’s going to appreciate being around the UFC environment.
“I actually don’t feel any pressure at all. I know that I’m going to perform really well. I’ve had a good feeling about this fight since the time they offered it to me.”
From not training and losing fights to training and winning fights, from fighting on local TV for a slice of fame to fighting on Fox for his family—that’s the progression of Steven “Super” Siler.
As he rides into his UFC on Fox 12 fight against Lahat, he’s looking for the finish, and he doesn’t care how he gets it. The former submission ace recently discovered he possesses some potent power in his hands and knees, and he’s content with either method of victory. Whatever gets the job done works for him.
“I’m fine wherever it goes. I love to do both (submissions and knockouts),” Siler said. “I’ve only had two legitimate knockouts. They were awesome feeling, but also choking someone out, you’re making them quit, and that’s always good too.”
(Shogun vs. Henderson 2 highlights via Fox Sports)
Dan Henderson and Mauricio “Shogun” Rua fought for the second time last night in Natal, Brazil, and though we weren’t treated to another five-round dogfight, the rematch turned out to be nearly as incredible as their first meeting. This time, it was Henderson who was getting beaten up in the early rounds, as an energized Shogun Rua came close to finishing the American legend on more than one occasion. It seemed like Henderson’s heart, experience, and still-solid chin were the only things keeping him alive going into round three. And then…boo-yah.
All it took was one right hand directly across the chin to snap Shogun’s head back and send him into a backwards somersault across the mat. Arguably, referee Herb Dean could have stopped the fight as soon as Shogun went ass-over-teakettle, but he allowed Hendo to follow up the knockdown with some controversial blows to the back of the head, as Shogun groggily clung to Henderson’s leg. To those of you who expected Herb Dean to penalize Henderson during the finishing sequence: You haven’t been watching MMA for very long, have you?
The Pepey/Lahat KO was just one of five matches at UFC Fight Night 38 that ended in the first round. Notably, middleweight vet CB Dollaway TKO’d TUF Brazil 1 winner Cezar “Mutante” Ferreira in just 39 seconds with an impressive display of counter-punching, which you can watch below…

Speaking of fights that lasted less than a minute, Thiago Santos TKO’d Ronny Markes in 53 seconds during the prelims, thanks to a well-placed body-kick. Considering that Markes missed weight by five pounds for the match, and he was already coming off a loss to Yoel Romero, his days in the promotion might be numbered.
“Possibly Early Stoppage of the Night” goes to the Steven Siler vs. Rony “Jason” Bezerra main card fight, which Jason won by first-round TKO after knocking Siler down with punches. The ref jumped in as soon as Siler hit the mat, drawing an immediate protest from the American featherweight. Not that Siler wasn’t hurt — but clearly there was some inconsistency in the officiating last night, when you consider how many opportunities Dan Henderson was given to recover after being rocked.
As for fights that went the distance, Norman Parke cost himself a victory against Leonardo Santos by getting a point deducted for shorts grabbing during their main card fight. Instead, the match ended in a majority draw. And in other point-deduction news, prelim fighter Mairbek Taisumov became just the second UFC fighter to have two separate point-deductions in a fight that went to the judges. (Taisumov was docked points for an illegal head-kick in round one and fence-grabbing in round two.) As a result, he lost a unanimous decision with scores of 30-25 across the board.

Rony Jason def. Steven Siler via KO, 1:17 of round 1.
Round 1: It’s a battle of wiki-less fighters! They touch gloves and immediately Taisumov backs up Prazeres with a front kick. They feel each other out for a minute.

Prazeres finally out-powers Taisumov and drags him to the mat. Prazeres mounts Taisumov and lands some punches. He’s setting up an arm bar but does it lazily, allowing Taisumov to escape back to guard. Prazeres keeps landing punches and some really nice elbows to the body; he’s far too powerful for Taisumov. Prazeres gets mount for an instant, but Taisumove sweeps him. Taisumov lands a kick to Prazeres as he’s still grounded and Mario Yamasaki deducts a point as the round ends. We score it 10-8 Prazeres because of the deduction.

Round 3: Prazeres lands yet another right hand to start things off, then presses Taisumov against the cage. He briefly escapes, but winds up there again. Prazeres botches a takedown. Yamasaki warns Taisumov for grabbing the cage again. We thought he might get disqualified with the way Yamasaki has been behaving. Taisumov hits a nasty uppercut on Prazeres which stumbled him. Prazeres eats a big right hand after an atrocious, tired shot. His next takedown attempt is better though, he wrests Taisumov to the ground and gets mount for a split second. Taisumov regains guard and then rises to his feet. A minute left to go now, and miracles aren’t looking likely. Taisumov manages to take Prazeres’ back but he escapes. They reset, and the fight ends. Not surprisingly, Prazeres gets the unanimous decision win.
Michel Prazeres def. Mairbek Taisumov via unanimous decision (30-25, 30-25, 30-35).
Round 1: Expect this entire fight to be a brawl devoid of technique. Villante lands a leg kick to start the fight. Maldonado rushes in and gets taken down.

He remains in side control for about 30 seconds. Maldonado gains half guard for a moment and loses it.

Villante lands a hook, but Maldonado lands two counter hooks to the body. He then lands a jab to the head and two hooks to the head. Villante’s hands are at his waist now, but he lands a very good leg kick. Maldonado lands two body shots and clinches, which is probably a bad idea. Maldonado hits a jab-cross-uppercut combo that snaps Villante’s head back a mile. The round ends.
Round 3: Maldonado lands a triple jab. Villante shoots from across the cage and, predictably, misses. Maldonado is the fresher fighter and seems to be picking Villante apart now.

Villante is breathing very heavily and has his hands completely down. Maldonado is pouring on the body shots now, and Villante decides to get on his bicycle.

Round 2: A messy exchange leads into another clinch with not much happening. The two start firing punches, with Santos landing more than Parke, though Parke did land a good straight right.

Some more good dirty boxing, namely uppercuts, from Parke. The round ends with both fighters clinched and Parke controlling the action. Santos appears to be fading.
Round 3:
Both fighters going insane with strikes at the start of the round, but the awesomeness leads to another clinch with little action in terms of takedowns or advancing position. There’s some strikes from Parke–light knees and punches, but that’s about it. Parke landing more uppercuts from the clinch, but the referee separates them…only for them to go right back into the same position. Great. They get separated again, and a wild slugfest ensues. Santos initiates a clinch this time, only to be backed up against the fence. That’s where the round ends. And guess what? The fight ends in a majority draw!
